    3 Link Shock Questions?

    I've searched this forum and haven't found the answer to my exact question. I'm looking for experienced answers here so none from arm chair drivers or bench racers PLEASE.

    Running a 3 link b mod and we have to run a solid top link. I'll post my setup below. My Question is: Is it standard practice to run an easy up shock on the left rear when pinning the right front with a tie down? This car is was setup with a RF tie down and a LR tie down also!! That doesn't seem right to me. I really have to finesse the car into the corner so it will set and not push the nose. If I'm not in traffic I can get it to turn and burn but if I'm racing it's tough to get it to turn. Trail braking makes the condition worse.

    I bought this car used and have had several people tell me it was a good fast car......but you never know what your going to get. I didn't buy it right off the track so I don't know what parts were robbed or what was changed before I got it. The seller "said" that it was how he ran it.

    LF RF
    625 550
    3050 5030

    LF RR
    200 175
    5030 3030

    35 lbs of bite
    52.5% Left, 57.7% rear
    1/2" lead

      The lr and rf are working aginst each other defeating the purpose. I run a 3-5 rf and 8-2 lr.

        Thanks fellas. The local speed shop had a box stock 3050 on hand. I'll bolt that on this week and see if it makes an improvement. It should!
